Everything exists as a potential. Reality is changeable. This simple perspective will change how you navigate through your life.  – This is the  synopsis of the Documentary “Change: The LifeParticle Effect”.  Sponsor Dahn Yoga is the presenter of this film.

We talked with Dahn Yoga instructor and General Counsel Temani Aldine.

BolderLife Festival: Temani, you and your company are one of our wonderful new sponsors. We would love to learn more about you. Would you please  introduce yourself?

Temani Aldine: Thank you for allowing us to participate and support this wonderful festival.  I am General Counsel and VP of Communications for Dahn Yoga & Health Centers, Inc.  I introduce myself this way to let you know that we are a different kind of company, because I am first and foremost a student of yoga, meditation and community building. I am a Dahn Yoga instructor and have been since 2007, but I have been practicing some form of yoga and meditation since 1991. In our community I am considered a Tao Master, but that is an indicator of intent and commitment, rather than accomplishment. In addition to handling the legal matters of our business, I have spent the past few years working with my friends and colleagues to develop better ways to communicate practically about energy, spirit and ways to manage the connectedness of life without being overwhelmed by it. That is why the BolderLife Festival feels like such a great connection for us.

BolderLife Festival:  Please introduce the “Change Project”. What are you doing?

Temani Aldine: We are presenting the film “Change: The LifeParticle Effect,” which introduces the concept of “energy” in a way that integrates a scientific and spiritual approach to life. For too long, these two views of life have been at odds. However, from a Taoist perspective all things are connected and manifestations of the same energy. So, the film, based on the teachings of Dahn Yoga founder, Ilchi Lee, introduces this integrated view of energy with its practical implications. We all seek change in some way, for ourselves, for our families for our communities, but often feel powerless to effect change. The “reality” of change is that it is the nature of the universe and once we recognize our part in it, we can proactively apply tools for change in our lives. Dahn Yoga has been presenting and promoting this film because we feel it compliments the holistic tools we teach in our classes. Yoga and meditation can be tools for personal change which translate in to change on a larger scale. Out of the positive response to the film, we saw a need for an ongoing way to address the needs for practical tools for change. That is the germ for the creation of ChangeYourEnergy.com. It is a separate company, but part of a this important Change Project which we support. 

BolderLife Festival:  Why do you support the BolderLife Festival? What have BolderLife Festival and “Change your Energy” in common?

Temani Aldine: I really appreciate the vision and mission of  the BolderLife Festival. It seems to encourage and embody exploration and creativity. This is can be empowering to so many people and it compliments so well what we teach with Dahn Yoga. A common misconception is that Dahn Yoga is all about creating and perpetuating a group. However, the reality is that we are already a group, we are all connected in one big family on this planet. So, Dahn Yoga endeavors to give individuals tools for authentic living that benefit the larger group. The belief is that when we focus on how we can benefit the whole, we naturally develop ways that are beneficial to our individual selves.

BolderLife Festival:  What do you think about this vision?

Temani Aldine: Simply, I think this vision is possible. For too long we have perpetuated skepticism about our collective and individual potential. We can experience freedom, love, dignity, grace and presence. No matter where we are, what we are doing, this begins with tools of self-awareness.

BolderLife Festival: You are supporting BolderLife as a sponsor and you will attend the festival with your movie as well. What can we look forward to?

Temani Aldine: You can look forward to seeing what you already know, expressed in a way that will help you put it into action in your lives.

BolderLife Festival: What do you think personally how to live a bolder life?

Temani Aldine: First see yourself, then you can be yourself and ultimately love yourself!

Thank you very much!
